Pruning Exemptions?

DeathHawk · Post by **DeathHawk** » Tue Sep 09, 2003 10:21 pm

I've read the User Guide and need more information on how pruning works. If someone who knows the code could answer the following questions:

1) Are sticky/announcement topics exempt from auto pruning by default?
2) if not, is there a mod created for it already?

Thanks,
Chris

1) Announcements are exempt; stickies are not
2) No.

Which file and what line would I need to change to exempt stickies as well?

Yes I am after the same thing?

The file is prune.php. The line would contain

Code: Select all

 topic_type != 2

So what do we need to do to keep sticky's? stopping them being pruned?

Add, after that

Code: Select all

AND topic_type != 1

I think. Not tested.

This is what I found:

$prune_all = ($prune_all) ? '' : 'AND t.topic_vote = 0 AND t.topic_type <> ' . POST_ANNOUNCE;
//
// Those without polls and announcements ... unless told otherwise!
//

I also want polls to autoprune, so I need to know what I need to change that too if anyone can help please?

Polls shouldautoprune themselves without changes.

Ok so it is just the original question remaining? any ideas?

Code: Select all

$prune_all = ($prune_all) ? '' : 'AND t.topic_vote = 0 AND t.topic_type > ' . POST_STICKY;
	//
	// Those without polls and announcements ... unless told otherwise!
	//

There. FYI: I'm not the best guy for coding, but this should work...

I'll try this, but does not look right somehow? I have a feeling it should be the line above? bit complicated, thanks anyway, anyone have any other ideas?

That just changes it from announcements to stickies

What does, editing out the line above or your suggestion?
